Organizing Mindfully Workshop Series
Change Your Life From The Inside Out
Presented by Joyce Wilde, Author of The Wilde Woman’s Guide to Organizing in Five Simple Steps: Using Mindfulness to Change Your Habits
If you experience resistance and overwhelm when trying to get organized, come join my Organizing Mindfully workshops!
These workshops focus on assisting women and men who would like to be organized as a way of living — rather than just get temporarily organized. You’ll learn five habits of organizing, along with mindfulness concepts and breathing exercises.
Organizing will probably fail if it only addresses the symptoms of the disorganization and doesn’t get to the root causes. It’s like mowing the dandelions from your yard; they’ll just grow back.You’ll learn how to physically organize yourself and understand the emotional and mental roots that cause disorganization.
Dates: September 12, 19, and 26, 2015
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Place: Ross Community Center (North Hills)
Host: Joyce Wilde
